Welcome Unhoused Folks to Our Day Center
Details
Description
DWC's programming includes access to basic needs and resources through our Day Center, where participants can receive three daily meals and access to showers, restrooms, clean clothing, mail services, telephones, case management, and healthcare.
As the first point of entry for women coming through DWC's doors, it's vital that we create a safe, welcoming space for the folks receiving services in our community. The more welcome participants feel, the more likely they are to sign up for our case management and counseling services, as well as any of our other housing, health and wellness, employment and job-readiness, and advocacy programming.
What to Expect:
- Welcoming participants
- Signing folks up for services
- Helping distribute toiletry items
- Participating in and/or leading enrichment activities (if desired); and more
- Restocking shelves
- Organizing storage closet
What's Required:
- Must be over the age of 18
- Must complete a New Volunteer Orientation
